Esports insider and scout Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov shared his thoughts on Alexander "s1mple" Kostyliev's performance during the second map of the match between Falcons and 3DMAX in the group stage of the Thunderpick World Championship 2024 on his Telegram channel. The Ukrainian player finished the second game of the series with a 1.72 rating.
OverDrive commented that this was the version of s1mple that fans had been eagerly awaiting for some time. However, what stood out more to him was the unexpectedly poor performance of the Falcons players. He noted that this roster seemed to be more of a warm-up for s1mple ahead of playing with a proper team.
Falcons were defeated 0:2 by 3DMAX in their debut match at Thunderpick World Championship 2024, dropping to the lower bracket of the group. The team is set to face the loser of the Virtus.pro vs. OG match in an elimination game.
